Redhat 5.2 on cd. I learned a lot about compiling kernels as it didn’t support scsi emulation which was required for an ide cd burner. I think I ended up on Mandrake for a while before bouncing around including LFS. Then gentoo for many many years. And I’ve come full circle and been back on fedora for about 10 years now.
ubuntu, manjaro was my first real foray into linux. I hopped to arch about a week later.
It's been like 5 years now. Please help.
RHEL desktop 4 when it was still free and I was in middle school
Several floppies of Slackware.
Some 10+ year old Ubuntu version probably. Before Unity so 10.04 maybe. Can't say
manjaro
